[QUOTE="MK73DS, post: 9743621, member: 361899"] First, there's the Switch boost effect, this console just makes games sell well. But at least that is not manipulable data, what is manipulable is the DLC. It replaced the third version which is counted separately in this chart. Lots of people only buy the third version (Platinum, Emerald, Black and White 2, ...) because it's usually the definitive experience. Meanwhile, in the case of Sword and Shield, the third version is more or less the DLC. So anyone wanting to play generation 8 needs to buy Sword or Shield. If we merge the numbers of the third version with the base games, the list will be (doing mental arithmetic, I hope I didn't make a mistake) : [CODE]Red / Green / Blue – 31,380,000 Gold / Silver / Crystal – 30,000,000 Diamond / Pearl / Platinum – 25,663,000 Sun / Moon + Ultra – 25,160,000 Sword / Shield – 23,900,000 Black / White + 2 – 23,890,000 Ruby / Sapphire / Emerald – 23,280,000 X / Y – 16,580,000 Yellow – 14,640,000 Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire – 14,460,000 Let’s Go, Pikachu / Eevee – 14,330,000 Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl – 13,970,000 HeartGold / SoulSilver – 12,720,000 FireRed / LeafGreen – 12,000,000[/CODE] Still very solid numbers, but not as amazing as it sounds. Anyway, there's no proper way to compare these numbers, since they're released on very different systems which sold very differently. [/QUOTE]
